Sitefinity - Ecommerce - How to get all tags currently assoc - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I have been searching for solutions or hints and can't seem to find any on this. I have a custom set of drop down menus on my master file. Those drop down menus assign a value to session variables that I want to use to filter results from default "Product List" widget. I have considered options to pass a query string like one of the telerik support technicians suggested. The only query string that I see that can filter products, do so on a SINGLE tag like this: http://localhost:60393/EC/the-store/-in-Tags/Tags/blue

Although not sure there is a version of that querystring that can use a "OR" for example show me all products with tag1 OR tag2 OR tag3 attached to them.

So, this all led me to research a way to manually databind product list with required tags in a repeater or something. But then I can't figure out how to filter tags. SOOOO......(drum-roll)

My question is: What line of code can I use to return a list of tags already associated with any given Product.id? (In the ecommerce context)

I figure, I would have to use these two managers below:

CatalogManager cmanager = CatalogManager.GetManager();

TaxonomyManager tmanager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

Then I figure I can do something like the below snippet to retrieve all products.

IQueryable<Product> allProducts = cmanager.GetProducts();

When I have all products I can foreach loop "allProducts" and input a product ID to retrieve all tags associated with that product ID. Is that possible?

If anyone has anything that they think would benefit me, i would greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks,
James

Hello, James.

Yes it is possible and here is how:

CatalogManager catalogManager = CatalogManager.GetManager();

TaxonomyManager taxonomyManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var products = catalogManager.GetProducts();

// Get the taxonomy for "Tags"

FlatTaxonomy tagTaxonomy = taxonomyManager.GetTaxonomies<FlatTaxonomy>().Where(t => t.Name == "Tags").SingleOrDefault();

foreach (Product product in products)

// get IDs of all tags associated with this product

var tagIds = product.GetValue<TrackedList<Guid>>("Tags");

foreach (Guid tagId in tagIds)

// get the Tag taxon from its Id

Taxon tag = tagTaxonomy.Taxa.Where(x => x.Id == tagId).SingleOrDefault();

// your code to manipulate the tag goes here

This will get a list of all the Ids of the Tags associated with a product and then get the tag Taxon if you need more info such as the Tag's title, etc.

You will need to add these using statements:

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Ecommerce.Catalog;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Ecommerce.Catalog.Model;

using Telerik.OpenAccess;

I hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have more questions.
